Hi! I'm Michela Chiucini—web designer and standards enthusiast based in sunny Tuscany coast, Italy.
Every day I do my bit to try and make the web a better place

I spend my days designing and coding attractive and usable websites. My unbrindled passion for web design teaches me something new every day.
To view some examples of my work, check out my portfolio

I graduated in Computer Science at Pisa University where I started with web design stuff. My very first approach was with web development. Of course I liked it, but not enough to define it a true passion. So when I was asked by a client to create a website and it was appreciated, I decided to move towards web design. From then on I started to design websites and I have never stopped.

This website

I'd define it a prof–personal blog.
Professional because it's all about work related things; personal because the design fully expresses me and my character.
So I invite you, too, to express your thoughts through these pages.

Pixiesque stuff

When I'm not on the web, you can find me in nature or walking across little streets in Pietrasanta.
I also enjoy travelling and I don't miss a chance to cuddle my big fat cat Lupo.
